Synopsis/Details
Susan and Joshua Mitchell are newly married and eager to begin their life together with a picture-perfect honeymoon in Thailand. They're in love, hopeful, and ready to celebrate the future. But when a last-minute booking error forces them into a more remote location—and a sudden travel lockdown places them under strict quarantine—their dream vacation is replaced with stillness, silence, and space they can’t escape. Confined in an unfamiliar guesthouse with nothing but their thoughts, a few locals, and each other, the couple’s once-euphoric connection begins to fray. As the days stretch and the world shrinks to a few square meters, small habits become irritants, silences grow louder, and deeply buried fears begin to surface. The couple must navigate emotional minefields they never expected to face so soon: jealousy, fear of failure, conflicting needs, and the haunting question of whether love alone is enough. Each passing moment in quarantine becomes its own kind of test. Susan, driven by ideals of connection and shared growth, begins to sense cracks behind Joshua’s charm. Joshua, craving space and simplicity, grows unsettled by Susan’s depth and expectations. Together, they are confronted by the invisible weight of their hopes, their pasts, and their personal definitions of love. THE QUARANTINE is an intimate, slow-burning character drama about the quiet battles that unfold when the world stops moving. It explores how external confinement can reveal internal truths—and how love, when stripped of distraction, is forced to show its real shape. Tender, unsettling, and deeply human, the story poses a simple but profound question: What do we discover about someone when there's nowhere left to go?
